I found out her name was Lucia because that's what I often heard her called. Actually, she is beautiful and cheerful. I always see her smiling, and she is also friendly, that's why everyone likes her. Our worlds are extremely diverse, and we are both different. But I couldn't stop staring at her and be curious about her. Sometimes I don't realize I'm already awed by her, and she often catches me staring at her, she'll just smile at me but then turn my back as if I don't care about her. Until one day, she suddenly approached me while I was standing by the window watching the children playing outside. I didn't know that she was standing next to me and silently watching me. I was about to leave, but my eyes widened in shock when I saw her next to me. “I'm just curious why you're always looking at out that window. Now I know what you're always watching. Why don't you come down and join them? They're all nice, and they won't eat you.” She said with a smile, but I didn't respond to her, bu
Lucia and I became close to each other, and she became my first friend. She was the first person I trusted and loved completely, more than myself. I won't deny that I'm slowly falling for her, but I just chose to keep it a secret to myself. As time passes, I get to know her more and more, and gradually something changes in me. I learned to laugh, smile and talk to anyone. Apart from that, I have also changed a lot. The former psycho that they all feared and avoided became a good guy because of an angel like her. It's also because of her that I learned to go to church every week, and my day is always colorful whenever I think of her. I didn't waste a day or a moment to be with her and hear her every story. Until I decided to confess my true feelings to her. It was December fifteenth and it was snowing. I sent a message to her that we both meet at our old meeting place because I have something important to tell her and I also have something to give her. I fully prepared for that day and
Lucia and I haven't seen each other for almost two weeks. She doesn't even call me or come to the orphanage to visit me. I often find myself staring at the window or staring at my cell phone waiting for her to call me, but it looks like she has completely erased me from her life. However, I couldn't let her end up with that man and I wouldn't let them both be happy while I suffered alone from the pain they caused me. I found out about the university that Lucia attends, and I secretly follow her like a stalker. I just followed her wherever she went and watched her from a distance where she couldn't easily see me. Furthermore, I get annoyed when I see the smiles on her lips, and I hate her even more when I see her laughing with that man, her boyfriend. I watched, followed and monitored her every move. I've been following her almost every day wherever she goes, but I'm too scared to show her. There is a fear in my heart that she might get caught to me and be angry with me when she finds
The heavy rain was pouring down as I stood near the window and looked outside. I closed my eyes and inhaled the cool breeze. This is what I like most. I love hearing every drop of rain as well as the cool breeze. When I opened my eyes, I noticed a woman standing outside the gate while she was drenched in the rain. I frowned, and I stared at her carefully, where I realized it was Lucia. So, I quickly ran down the stairs and came out with my black umbrella. I quickly went to where she was and opened the gate. I looked at her from head to toe and noticed that she was shivering from the cold, and it looked like she had been standing there for a while. She slowly looked up at my face and I noticed her puffy eyes as if she had been crying all day. “What are you doing here, Lucia, and why are you wet? Are you losing your mind? What if you get sick?” I said at the same time I put my umbrella on her, and I was the one who got wet in the heavy rain. She suddenly ran to me and hugged me tightly
“We can't contact your fiancée, Lucia. I'm sorry, but it looks like your marriage won't go through.” When I heard what she was said, I almost fell, but they immediately caught me by my arm. It was the most important occasion of my life, but all my dreams suddenly collapsed instantly. I don't know whether what is happening to me is my karma or because nothing is really destined for me. But I also believe that Jake can't do that to me because I know how much he loves me. But if it's true what they tell me that he ran away just so our marriage wouldn't go ahead, what was his reason, and why did he do that? He is so kind and so loyal to me that it is impossible for him to love anyone else besides me. I know all of his close friends, and they all have families of their own. So, how did he run away on the very day of our wedding. Everything is almost ready, we have our own house, and we have plans for our marriage. We also have a plan on how we will build our own family. So, I don't believe
“I'm sorry, but it looks like I won't be able to accompany you to your house because I have something important to go to, but don't worry I'll make sure that man can't get close to you anymore.” I was surprised by what he said, and I did not expect that there are still people like him who have good will. If it wasn't for him, I might in danger now and I hands of Simon. But fortunately, he came at the right timing and time, that's why I immediately felt better about him, besides that, I feel that he is a good person and because that's what I see on his face. He was not only nice but also a gentleman because he never left me alone in the waiting shed until he saw me getting into a taxi. “Thank you, by the way.” I softly said to him that he turn to me, and he just nodded his head. “Not that I'm interfering in your life, but I hope you don't go to that kind of place again. It's dangerous to go to that kind of place alone, especially someone as beautiful as you.” After he said that I turn
While I was walking back to my house, I stopped walking for a moment when I saw a familiar man's face in the distance. If I'm not mistaken, it was Sixto, and he seemed to be heading to that coffee shop, that's why I thought of approaching and calling him. But before I could mention his name, someone suddenly covered my mouth and pulled me into the dark alley. He leaned me against the wall and even though it was dark in that place I could recognize his voice. “How are you, Lucia? It's been a while since we've seen each other and talked like this. I'm sorry if I've been busy these past few days because I've been doing a lot.” He said while I looked at him in shock. “How did you know I was here?” I'm asked him. I didn't reveal everything I knew about him, and I also didn't show my weakness in front of him because he might panic and think of doing something bad to me. “I've been calling you on your phone number for several days, but I can't reach you. Have you changed your number?” he s
“No!” I shouted as I ran, but I was stopped immediately when she fell from the top of the building. All the people around me screamed and were shocked by the incident. My eyes almost widened in disbelief, and suddenly tears started to fall from my eyes without me realizing it. I tried to move my legs but my every step was too heavy and at the same time tears started to fall from my eyes. Weak, scared and nervous. I was feeling mixed emotions at that moment as I walked towards her, but before I got close to her, I heard the arrival of the police car. So instead of going to see her, I immediately turned my back and walked away. I would rather not leave, but I have no other choice because they will definitely catch me and lock me up until I don't see her again. I hid in a dark alley and there I temporarily stopped, and I sat while silently crying. Only then did I realize all the mistakes I made with her and if I had only let her be happy in the company of other people all this would not
I punched him hard in the face, which surprised him, and he quickly fell to the floor. I was about to punch him again, but his bodyguards immediately stopped me and helped him stand up. He raised his right hand to signal them to let me go, and then I quickly came to him and pulled him by his collar while I was looking at him angrily. “Where did you take my friends? What did you do to them?” I said to him as I held him tightly. His bodyguards were about to approach me to stop me and take me away from him, but he immediately raised his two hands and then nodded his head causing them to back away from the two of us. “I don't know what you're talking about. We didn't find anyone else there but you. Believe me or not, but that's the truth.” His response was, but I didn't believe what he was saying because I know what kind of person he is. That's why I pulled him closer to me as I looked at him intently. “You're a liar. Did you think you could fool me? Maybe you were able to fool your own
“Sixto!” I turned to the voice I heard. I saw Simon, Luigi, and Wendy as they smiled at me. They called me and invited me to join them, but I remained standing where I was as I was stunned by them. What are these things I see? Are they really in front of me now? I whispered to myself when suddenly Luigi came to me and grabbed my hand which made me look at him and thereafter, we run towards the car. I was confused by what was going on, and I couldn't quite understand what was really going on, but I was happy to see them again. While we were riding in the car, I looked around where everything was peaceful and there was no disturbance to be seen there. How it's good to feel the fresh breeze as well as the beautiful sunrise that seems to be dancing with the clouds. I let out a sigh of relief because of the lightness of my feeling and I turned to look at Luigi, Simon, and Wendy again but suddenly the smile from my lips disappeared when I realized that they were not there, they disappeared
When I regained consciousness, I heard a defibrillator that seemed to be close to me. “Sixto, can you hear me?” the voice I kept hearing as I slowly opened my eyes. It was blurry at first, but gradually my vision returned to normal. I looked around my entire surroundings with a trace of wonder on my face, and I don't know where I am now besides that I can't move my whole body and I can't feel anything. What is happening to me, and where am I? I whispered to myself that a man approached me while he was wearing a white uniform, at the same time he shined a blinding light in my eyes. I tried to open my mouth, but no sound came out of my mouth. Wait, what's really going on? Am I just dreaming? I wondered to myself and tried to close my eyes again, thinking I was just dreaming. But when I opened my eyes again, I was still where I was, but suddenly all the people around me disappeared. Until I heard heavy footsteps that seemed to be heading towards where I was. I tried to get up and move
“Sixto are you alright?” Wendy asked me worriedly as she put a white towel on my back while I focused my attention on Anna, who was now wrapped in my clothes. “Don't worry because I'm fine.” The only thing I responded to was, and I placed Anna's head on the back side, and then I started the car while Simon and Luigi followed behind us. I was speechless during those moments and didn't realize that I had been awake for two days just driving. I don't eat, I don't even drink a drop of water. Furthermore, I just focused my attention on what I was driving until suddenly, I felt a headache, so I stopped the car for a while. Wendy woke up and turned to me worriedly. “Sixto, what is wrong?” she said as she touched my forehead where she felt the extremely hot temperature of my body, besides that, she noticed my pale face. “You're not in a good condition, so rest first, okay?” She added at the same time I removed her hand, which surprised her. “No, I won't stop. They have to pay for what they
Because we had difficulty in searching, we just decided to go to the capital city of our country where we can see the president, and it seems that it would be better for the two of us to face each other to clarify all the questions that are bothering my mind. We thought of getting out of that city, but we were immediately stunned when we got to the road out of that place. Simon and I both got out of the car and then looked up at something hanging up there. “What's the problem?” Wendy was curious as she walked towards us and then Luigi immediately follow her. Suddenly, Wendy screamed loudly at what she saw and in her shock she stepped back but lost her balance, so she sat on the ground. “Jesus, who the devil could have done this to her?” I heard Luigi say as he stood next to me. I can't speak, I can't move where I am, and I can't take my eyes off what I see now. Furthermore, I couldn't quite believe it, and I didn't expect anything about that thing where Anna's severed head was hangi
“Do you think we'll ever be able to return to our normal bodies?” when I heard what he said, I couldn't answer him immediately. I just let out a deep breath. I don't even know if we can go back to the way we were or if we can live as a normal human being. “If you had to choose between the two, what would you choose? To go back to your old normal life or to just stay as you are now?” he added, and I slowly looked at him with a trace of astonishment on my face. I don't quiet understand why he decided to ask me about that matter, but it seems that if I ask him about it, he might pick the last one as I feel that he is gradually liking what he is now. So, I just smile and turned to me. “I'm not in the right position to answer about that. I don't even know how long I'll live or how far I'll go. No one can dictate what happens to us in the future or what destiny awaits us.” After I told him that, I stood up and then turned away from him. I was about to get in the car, but I immediately stop
With the help of Luigi and Simon, we immediately caught the group of rebel men and got their guns from them. Just like the three pranksters, we tied their hands behind their backs and then covered their mouths with scotch tape and put them inside the cargo truck. “What exactly are you planning to do with them?” Simon asked me. “My plan will not change. We will hand them over to the police.” I replied to him, then I drink bottle water. “Are you sure we can trust them? What if they just let them go again?” he said with a trace of curious on his face. I took a deep breath and looked around. “I think that if they just release them again, we will have no other choice but to find them and bring them back to them, am I right?” after I told him that, I patted him on the shoulder as I got into the car and Wendy followed me. “Are you alright?” I asked her, and she turned to me for a moment, and then she nodded her head. “Yes, I'm fine.” She replied while putting on her seatbelt. At that ti
“You, don't you know who I am? Don't you remember this face of us?” I said to him, at the same time he looked me carefully in the face while he alternately looked at me and Wendy. Until his eyes widened in shock, at the same time he backed away with a look of surprise on his face. He must have remembered who we two were because he was the only one who shot us that day, so he can't immediately forget the sin he committed and because of that someone lost her life, Wendy. “You're the ones who died that day. But how come you're still alive until now? What's going on? Is this really what I'm seeing, or am I just dreaming?” he stammered with a trace of curiosity on his face. “What do you mean?” his colleagues are curious about him. “They were the people who fell off the bridge then. But how come they are still alive today and can still walk normally?” he said at the same time I winced, so they turned to look at me again with a trace of shock in their eyes. “So, you remember who we are?”
Our whole surroundings became quiet and the bodies of headless zombies were scattered everywhere. Whenever I looked at, there were corpses strewn about and bathed in their own blood. We returned to our car and then Simon opened the trunk where the three pranksters appeared to us where we caught them removing the ties from their hands. “Looks like we're going to need a bigger vehicle.” Simon said as we looked around our entire surroundings where not far away we saw a cargo truck which we immediately approached. “Who will drive this truck?” Luigi asked as I turned to him and grinned. “Who else?” I replied, and then I turned my gaze to where Simon was. We decided that we would use two vehicles, with Simon and Luigi in charge of the cargo truck while Wendy and I rode in the black van. We entered and locked the three pranksters inside the cargo truck with their hands still tied, and their mouths covered with scotch tape. “What are you planning to do with them? Aren't we going to feed t
